So when its steely matriarch dies with no will to be found, the seeds of an inheritance dispute are sown.Yet her legacy could be more damaging still. A manuscript confiscated by the secret police in the seventies holds devastating secrets about the Falcks' activities during the war. Her granddaughter Sasha is set on uncovering the truth, whatever the cost, bringing her into conflict with her father, whose family loyalty is matched only by his patriotic fervour. And in the wings waits Hans Falck, war doctor and philanderer, head of the impoverished Bergen branch, who has a few secrets of his own.It all leads back to the sinking of the SS Prinsesse Ragnhild, lost to a British mine in 1940. But can the official verdict be trusted? The shocking truth lies 300 metres under the sea.Part literary thriller, part sweeping family saga, The Sea Cemetery is a dark and dramatic tale of secrets, betrayals and doomed love, drawing on the true story of one of Norway's most devastating maritime disasters.

Hanff Korelitz, Jean

Not many first-time novelists get a profile in the New York Times. Then again, few firsttime novelists come with the backstory of Anna Williams-Bonner: recent bride of a wildly successful writer who took his own life even as his fame seemed on the ascent. Anna’s book is climbing the bestseller lists. But when someone leaves a cryptic note for her at a book signing, she realises that not all the attention is positive. For years, Anna’s been keeping secrets about her past: what if someone knows the truth? She will do anything to keep what she values most: the right to her own story.

Sejnowski, Trerrence J

An insightful exploration of Chat GPT and other advanced AI systems--how we got here, where we're headed, and what it all means for how we interact with the world.In ChatGPT and the Future of AI, the sequel to The Deep Learning Revolution, Terrence Sejnowski offers a nuanced exploration of large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT and what their future holds. How should we go about understanding LLMs? Do these language models truly understand what they are saying? Or is it possible that what appears to be intelligence in LLMs may be a mirror that merely reflects the intelligence of the interviewer? In this book, Sejnowski, a pioneer in computational approaches to understanding brain function, answers all our urgent questions about this astonishing new technology.Sejnowski begins by describing the debates surrounding LLMs' comprehension of language and exploring the notions of ''thinking'' and ''intelligence.'' He then takes a deep dive into the historical evolution of language models, focusing on the role of transformers, the correlation between computing power and model size, and the intricate mathematics shaping LLMs. Sejnowski also provides insight into the historical roots of LLMs and discusses the potential future of AI, focusing on next-generation LLMs inspired by nature and the importance of developing energy-efficient technologies.Grounded in Sejnowski's dual expertise in AI and neuroscience, ChatGPT and the Future of AI is the definitive guide to understanding the intersection of AI and human intelligence.

Franco para jóvenes
Avui -5% en Llibres

Martínez Soler, José

Hace cincuenta años que murió Franco, un dictador que tuvo todo el poder durante casi cuatro décadas. Unos le querían y otros le odiaban. Todos le temían. El caudillo de España ''por la gracia de Dios'', y no por el voto de los españoles y españolas, marca la historia reciente en nuestro país. Sus efectos todavía perduran. Franco ganó la Guerra Civil con la ayuda de Hitler y Mussolini. La historia de las guerras y las dictaduras la escriben los vencedores, pero que hayan ganado no significa que tuvieran razón o que los hechos sean buenos o inalterables. La historia cambia a medida que descubrimos más datos. A mí me secuestró y torturó un comando de la Guardia Civil franquista en 1976, tres meses después de la muerte del dictador, por un artículo que escribí. Casi no vivo para contarlo. A otros les pasaron cosas peores. En estas cinco décadas desde la muerte del dictador, España ha vivido una transición a la democracia, cuesta imaginar que nuestros padres, abuelos y bisabuelos, no hace tanto, se estuvieran matando entre ellos. Ahora que aumenta el populismo y la desinformación, con el auge de la extrema derecha en toda Europa, incluida España, es bueno conocer nuestra historia reciente, saber de dónde venimos y poder tomar decisiones que nos lleven hacia un futuro mejor. Heredáis esta democracia de medio siglo. Viene bien que sepáis sobre qué cimientos está alzada para que podáis sacarle el máximo provecho, porque no te das cuenta de lo valiosa que es la libertad hasta que te falta. Ojalá nunca os falte.

Same Bed Different Dreams
Avui -5% en Llibres

Park, Ed

A wild, sweeping novel that imagines an alternate secret history of Korea and the traces it leaves on the present—loaded with assassins and mad poets, RPGs and slasher films, pop bands and the perils of social media.March, 1919. Far-flung Korean patriots establish the Korean Provisional Government to protest the Japanese occupation of their country. This government-in-exile proves mostly symbolic, though, and after Japan’s defeat in World War II, the KPG dissolves and civil war erupts, resulting in the North-South split that remains today.But what if the KPG still existed now, today—working toward a unified Korea, secretly harnessing the might of a giant tech company to further its aims? That’s the outrageous premise of Same Bed Different Dreams, which weaves together three distinct narrative voices and an archive of mysterious images and twists reality like a kaleidoscope, spinning Korean history, American pop culture, and our tech-fraught lives into an extraordinary and unforgettable novel.Early on we meet Soon Sheen, who works at the sprawling international technology company GLOAT, and comes into possession of an unfinished book authored by the KPG. The manuscript is a mysterious, revisionist history, tying famous names and obscure bit players to the KPG’s grand project. This strange manuscript links together figures from architect-poet Yi Sang to Jack London to Marilyn Monroe. M*A*S*H is in here, too, and the Moonies, and a history of violence extending from the assassination of President McKinley to the Soviet downing of Korean Air Lines Flight 007.Just as foreign countries have imposed their desires on Korea, so too has Park tucked different dreamers into this sprawling bed of a novel. Among them: Parker Jotter, Korean War vet and appliance-store owner, who saw something--a UFO?--while flying over North Korea, Nora You, nail salon magnate, and Monk Zingapan, game designer turned writing guru. Their links are revealed over time, even as the dreamers remain in the dark as to their own interconnectedness. A thrilling feat of imagination and a step forward from an award-winning author, Same Bed Different Dreams begins as a comic novel and gradually pulls readers into another dimension—one in which utopia is possible.
